Parameter Description
Scientific Name Abelmoschus esculentus L.
Hybrid F1 Poorvi
Soil Okra prefers loose, well drained and rich soil. The ideal pH for growth of plants is 6-8.
Land Preparation Field is ploughed thoroughly for 2-3 times for making soil to a fine tilth. Ridges and furrows or raised beds are prepared and dibbling on sides of ridges or on raised beds sows seeds. Soak seeds for 6-12 hours before sowing to enhance germination during summer.
Spacing 60 × 30 cm
Climate Bhendi is a typical tropical or sub-tropical crop and cannot tolerate frost. Performance is also adversely affected by drought, low night temperature and shade Under high temperature and low humidity, plant growth is stunted and will be shorter in stature. Similarly flowers drop when day temperature exceeds 42°C.

Irrigation Water stress at flowering and fruiting stages will drastically influence growth of plants, size of fruits and yield. Immediately after sowing, field is irrigated. Subsequent irrigation is given at fixed intervals depending on texture of soil and climate. In black soils, irrigation is done at 5-6 days interval.
Weed Control Manual weeding employed to remove weeds

Diseases
Name of the Disease Symptoms & Management
Powdery Mildew This disease is favored by high humidity, white powdery residue primarily on the upper leaf surface. On the lower surface of the leaves circular patches or spots appear. Severely attacked leaves become brown and defoliation
Control: Carbendazim 1ml/L, Karathane 0.5 ml/L, Tebuconazole 50% + Trifloxystrobin 25% @ 0.5 g/L, Meptyl dinocap @ 0.5 g/L
Yellow Vein Mosaic Virus (YVMV) Causes yellowing of veins, leaf thickening, and stunted growth
Spray: 1.5ml/L dimethoate, Acetamiprid 20% WP @ 1 g/L, Diafenthiuron 47% + Bifenthrin 9.4% SC @ 1 g/L
Blossom Blight Caused by Choanephora cucurbitarum, this fungal disease affects blossoms and young pods, causing them to fail to develop.
Spray: Spraying with bavistin 0.1% 5-6 times at fortnightly intervals effectively controls the leaf spot.
Enation Leaf Curl Virus Leaf distortion & thickening.
Spray : 1.5ml/L dimethoate, Acetamiprid 20% WP @ 1 g/L, Diafenthiuron 47% + Bifenthrin 9.4% SC @ 1 g/L
Rhizoctonia Wilt This fungus causes wilting by blocking the xylem and phloem of the roots there by stopping the supply of nutrients and water to the plant.
Control: Soil drenching with Fosetyl AL 80% WP @ 1 g/L + Carbendazim 50% WP @ 2 g/L, Chlorthalonil 50% WP @ 2 g/L, Metalaxyl 8% WP + Mancozeb 64% WP @ 2 g/L
Fusarium Wilt This fungus causes wilting by blocking the xylem and phloem of the roots there by stopping the supply of nutrients and water to the plant
Control: Soil drenching with Aliete @ 1 g/L + Carbendazim 50% WP @ 2 g/L, Chlorthalonil 50% WP @ 2 g/L, Metalaxyl 8% WP + Mancozeb 64% WP @ 2 g/L
Pests
Name of the Pest Symptoms & Management
Shoot and Fruit Borer Terminal shoots wither & droop; shedding buds/flowers; bore holes in fruits; deformed fruits.
Control: Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG (0.5g/L), Chlorantraniliprole + Lambda-cyhalothrin 0.5 ml/L, Flubendamide + Thiacloprid 0.5 ml/L
Whitefly Chlorotic spots on the leaves which latter coalesce forming irregular yellowing of leaf tissue, Severe infestation results in premature defoliation, Development of sooty mold, Vector of yellow vein mosaic virus
Control: Quinalphos 25% EC 1 ml/L, Acetamiprid 20% WP @ 1 g/L, Diafenthiuron 47% + Bifenthrin 9.4% SC @ 1 g/L, Propargite 50% EC 2 ml/L
Aphids Colonies attack leaves & tender shoots; leaves curl & dry.
Control: Acephate 75% SP 1.5 g/L, Dimethoate 1.5 ml/L, Imidacloprid 30.5% SC 0.25 ml/L, Diafenthiuron 50% WP 1 g/L, 30-35 blue sticky traps/Ha
Red Cotton Bug Infested seeds become discoloured & shrivelled.
Control: Phosphamidon 40 SL @ 600 ml/ha
Harvesting Maturity : 40-45 days. Harvest fruits when they attain maximum size but still tender. Harvesting is done in alternate days with a knife or by bending pedicel with a jerk. For harvesting, cotton cloth hand gloves should be used to protect fingers from stinging effect. It is advisable to harvest in morning hours since fruit hairs will be soft. Sprinkling water on pods during night will keep them cool and fresh for market.
Yield 25-30 t/ha
